Of course it's physically possible for a software project to exist where all contributors flawlessly handle nullability. The point is rather that, because this can be automated, it ought to be automated. The same could be said of a

Well sure. Physical IDs are also not tiny government listening devices either. Unit they are.

And by that argument, difficult big tech system design interviews are interchangeable with bar examinations.

It's probably easier to find and press than the old 27" iMacs. I always had a brief moment of trouble feeling around the back to find that darn button (part of the reason is that you need to press it very infrequently).

It's not like they're taking a loss from educational purchases. It's just price discrimination. You might as well say "if we all started using newspaper coupons we can say goodbye to those discounts."

The thing about gambling is that even if you understand the nature of gambling it doesn't mean you can reliably win money from gambling.

I wouldn't expect that confusion to be common. It's already common to say things like "I got terrible sleep on Wednesday night" even though some or all of the bad sleep might have happened after midnight and thus technic

In order to do computing involving time zones you also need to get an enormous number of people (particularly vendors of computer operating systems and maintainers of programming languages) to agree. But yes, this does appear to be easier t

But surely Barbie does nowhere near as well if it doesn’t have the Barbie IP. The movie plays largely as a parody of Barbie anyway, so it’s very easy to imagine nearly the exact same movie with a find/replace on a few trademarks in the

Isn't the use case just any time you want a client to essentially subscribe to an SQL query and receive message every time the result of that SQL query changes?

Why would engineering (of anything!) be a valid approach to some problems but not others? If I want to move cars across a body of water then engineering is a great approach. Why would it not also be a great approach if I want to change my e
